    Aimed at younger children, the series was devised and written by Ian Allen. The first series of 13 programmes was transmitted in 1980. A further 6 series of 13 programmes followed, making a total of ninety-one different Button Moon adventures.

    The series were repeated on a yearly basis for Thames TV up until 1988. All 91 episodes have been shown on satellite channel UK Gold since spring 1993.

    Overseas sales. Button Moon has been sold abroad in the following places: New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Zimbabwe, Malaysia, Kenya, Swaziland and Albania!

    I recently bought a DVD of this on eBay after my son (2 1/2) fell in love with it after seeing it on Nick Jr. Wow 91 episodes, that's amazing.

    "We're off to Button Moon.."

    We loved this in my house when we were younger. Had a video that was watched over & over. My sister has a poster :)

    I remember a strange hoover type thing..

    The first time I ever saw Button Moon was on a video while I was in the children's ward of my local hospital after having my appendix out and I was out of my head on very strong painkillers - quite trippy I can tell you!

    It was trippy at the best of times. I was an unashamed fan. It's amazing what you can remember from when you're 3 or 4 years old.
